Scenes from the Life

Joseph McBee's well-crafted scripts reflect three loves: a love for the gift of communication, a love for the art of drama, and a love for the things of God. This union of communicator, artist, and believer makes McBee a formidable writer and his scripts a valuable resource and tool.
